Chapter 150: Breaking through the formation
“Song Linfang failed to condense the baby and died?”
In the Jinguang Pavilion, Jia Pingjian asked with a bit of surprise,
"Is this news true?"
Huang Xinhe, the elder named Huang below, replied:
"It's absolutely true. This news came from the Wang family's formation master, Wang Lihua, who had a personal relationship with Song Linfang.
It has not spread among the people yet, but it won't be long before the whole Luoluo area is in trouble. Everyone in Hefu knows it.”
Jia Pingjian was a little excited, but his years of practice experience made him calm down.
"Pavilion Master, there will be chaos in Zhigang Palace next. Do we, Jinguang Pavilion, launch an offensive against its property?"
In the past hundred years, the strength of Zhigang Palace and Jinguang Pavilion have both declined. They are evenly matched, and there is not much difference in the power between the two subordinates.
However, in the past few years when Song Linfang wanted to condense the baby, Zhigang Palace recruited a large number of casual cultivators and sect monks, and its strength grew day by day. Jinguang Pavilion had no choice but to give up many of its properties.
Now as the elder of Jinguang Pavilion, Huang Xinhe is thinking about taking back this part of the property, and has the idea of continuing to invade the property under the Gang Palace gate.
Hearing this, Jia Pingjian lowered his head slightly and fell into deep thought, stroking the short black beard above his chin and replied:
"This matter is not urgent. After the news spread, There will be civil strife in Zhigang, and our strength will be greatly reduced. It will not be too late for me, Jinguang Pavilion, to wait for a while before taking action."
"Besides, the news from the Wang family may not be accurate."
"What do you think, Pavilion Master?" Huang Xinhe asked in shock.
Jia Pingjian nodded slightly:
"I am worried that there is fraud. Don't be careless when dealing with the possible Yuanying monks who involve our Jinguang Pavilion tradition.
Password Go down, disciples, don’t conflict with Zhigang Palace, and let’s see Zhigang Palace’s reaction first.”
Huang Xinhe bowed his head and handed over: “I respect the Lord’s order!”
·······
On the other side, Zhigang Palace also learned the news of Song Linfang’s failure in condensation.
"Master, how could it be?"
Zhuang Yao looked forward, with a little hollowness in his eyes.
The worst situation occurred. Although he was mentally prepared for it, when the moment came, he still felt caught off guard.
"Senior sister, it's not good. The elders in the palace are having a meeting to decide on a new palace master,"
Shi Peng broke in from outside the house and said anxiously.
Zhuang Yao smiled miserably: "Choose, choose, what can I do if I can't wait to build the foundation?"
On the other side, in the meeting hall of Zhigang Palace, seven people The alchemy monks gathered together.
Among them are Bu Yajuan, Xu Xianliang, and the two elders Yue and Huang who joined Gang Palace at the same time. As for the other three, they were invited by Song Linfang to join the Gang Palace Jie Dan Fellowship in recent years.
They are named Qu Zhilin, Guan Ri'an, and Chi Yunyou. The first two are in the middle stage of pill formation, and the last one is in the early stage of pill formation.
"You and the other three want to compete for the position of the palace master after hearing such rumors, so you are not worried that the palace master will come back to settle the matter?"
Xu Xianliang looked at the three people in front of him, a little angry. said.
Hearing this, Chi Yunyou, who had the lowest level of cultivation, hesitated.
But the other two were not afraid at all:
"Now that our sect is leaderless, we urgently need to elect a palace master to suppress the situation.
This move is for the sake of the sect. Even if Song Palace Master Jiuquan finds out, how can he blame us, let alone Words of reckoning.”
Hearing these shameless remarks, even Bu Yajuan, who had a slightly better temper, frowned.
Both sides argued endlessly, but Xu Xianliang and others ultimately failed to change the direction of the situation.
"I think Elder Bu has the most seniority and is also the junior sister of the Palace Master of the Song Dynasty, so he is the most suitable for the position of Palace Master," Xu Xianliang said solemnly.
But Fang Guan Ri'an shook his head:
"How can the position of Palace Master be selected based on qualifications? Wouldn't it be a big joke if outsiders found out? In my opinion, the position of Palace Master should be chosen by a wise person. "I think Taoist friend Qu Zhilin is very good."
Xu Xianliang looked at Qu Zhilin with a smile in front of him and sighed in his heart.
This situation had been rehearsed in Xu Xian's conscience for many days, and the three people's reactions were not much different from what they expected.
‘They are indeed unfamiliar wild wolves. It is unwise for the palace master to invite these three people into the palace! ’
"Since fellow Taoists have objections to this, why not let us vote as usual?"
"Vote?"
Xu Xianliang looked at the four people on his side, and then saw The three people on the other side were filled with doubts.
But Guan Ri'an, who was present, was the first to speak out and elected Qu Zhilin as the palace master, and Chi Yunyou also echoed.
In desperation, Xu Xianliang could only recommend Bu Yajuan.
When the two of them looked at the remaining elders Yue and Huang, the other two said:
"We will abstain!"
As soon as these words came out, the The expressions of Xu Xianliang and Bu Yajuan changed drastically.
“Did you and the others forget the spiritual contract signed with Palace Master Song?”
The elder Yue shook his head indifferently:
"We have not betrayed Zhigang Palace, so how can we violate the contract?"
He is right. Abstaining does not mean betrayal. The other party just stood by and watched the struggle in the palace and did nothing. That’s all.
But the current situation in Zhigang Palace, even if it abstains, is enough to make it irreversible.
Bu Yajuan looked up at the three people who were forcing her to enter the palace, and found that all three of them had smiles of success.
"It's ridiculous. How can a monk who has not mastered the "Forging Gang Method", the sect's sect-controlling skill, be qualified to compete for the position of palace master."
As soon as these words came out, the smiles of the three people instantly faded.
Xu Xianliang hurriedly agreed:
“What you said is right.”
Qu Zhilin and the other two wanted to say something more, but Bu Yajuan already waved her sleeves:
< br>"This matter ends here. If the three of you want to compete for the position of palace master, you should first pass the test, obtain the inheritance of "Forging Gang Method" and advance to the third level.
The meeting is over! ”
After saying this, he left calmly.
Xu Xianliang also followed. When leaving, he gave Yue and Huang a cold look.
Looking very flustered,
leaving the five people present, Guan Ri'an asked Qu Zhilin repeatedly:
"Fellow Daoist Qu, what Bu Yajuan said makes sense, what should we do?"
Qu Zhilin also looked ugly. He joined the Gang Palace because he valued the "Forging Gang Method". However, after all these years, Song Linfang, however, had no intention of teaching her complete method.
Instead, let him go to the inheritance hall to obtain it based on his ability.
Currently Qu Zhilin has only achieved the first level, and his practice has not yet been completed, let alone the higher levels of the second and third levels.
Now this has actually become an obstacle to his attempt to become the Lord of Gang Palace.
"Complete the test, hum!"
Looking back at Yue and Huang:
"You two have been in Gang Palace for many years, what level has the "Forging Gang Method" reached? ?" The two looked at each other, and the elder Huang replied:
"We have only been in Ganggong for ten or twenty years, and the current "Forging Gang Method" is not enough. The second level is far away from the third level.”
This statement made Qu Zhilin frown:
"Is there a way to speed up the practice?"
"I heard that Wannian Blood Ginseng can promote this skill, but... ··”
The rarity of the ten thousand-year elixir makes it impossible for monks like Qu Zhilin to use it for first-level or even second-level practice. Even for third-level practice, it is too extravagant. .
Besides, with his wealth and channels, there is not much hope of finding a ten-thousand-year-old blood ginseng.
"Should we just give up?"
Qu Zhilin's eyes flickered.
The spiritual contract signed when he entered the sect prevented him from betraying the Gang Palace. Now he can only resort to internal fighting.
However, the road to internal fighting is not feasible now.
·······
Beside the Luohe River, Wang Lihua looked at the direction Song Linfang was going and asked:
"Senior Song is planning to find that Master Wei?"
"Exactly, I am Ningying on this trip. If it succeeds, Zhigang Palace will definitely become the number one Nascent Soul Sect in Luohe Prefecture, but it just so happens that the sect is short of a Zhenzong Alchemist..."
Seeing that it means to recruit, Wang Lihua He said:
“Wei Zhong is indeed a very skilled alchemist, and even my Wang family is tempted by him. But he joined the Yunji Chamber of Commerce and became a guest minister many years ago.
< br>
Moreover, there has been no precedent of joining any force in the past hundred years. The senior's trip may be in vain. "
"Haha, it's no better than before. The Nascent Soul cultivator came to the door in person, how could the other party not give him face? No big deal, I will use some small tricks then. ”
Song Linfang was full of confidence, and Wang Lihua stopped talking and followed him to escape in the direction of Qingbo Island.
·······
Zhi Gang Wei Zhong had no way of knowing about the farce in the palace and Song Linfang's thoughts, but the news from his servants was enough to surprise him
"Song Linfang is dead?"
Wei Zhong was surprised when he saw the news from Zou Ruiyuan.
A few days ago, I thought that Song Linfang had a high probability of succeeding in breaking through the Nascent Soul, but now that he received such news, Wei Zhong was caught off guard.
"Wang Lihua of the Wang family said it himself, and there are still photos to prove it. If Wang Lihua is not staying well in Yunzhou City, why is he coming to Luohe Mansion at this time?"
Wei Zhong asked suspiciously. road.
"It is said that Peng Susu asked the other party to come here to help stabilize the situation in Zhigang Palace."
"What about Wang Lihua?"
Zou Ruiyuan shook his head:
"He is in Luo After Hefu showed up, he disappeared and completely lost his trace."
Wei Zhong rubbed his brows and planned to expel Zou Ruiyuan and go to Yuelan City to find out the truth.
But suddenly there was a panic in his consciousness, and he immediately flew up, waving his sleeves and shouting:
"Who broke into my Qingbo Island?"
The fingertips moved slightly, and it was already At the same time, activate the island protection formation and the Five Elements Soldier Killing Formation.
Five phantoms appeared, and a sense of murder spread throughout the island. Everyone on Ling Island was extremely vigilant when they saw this situation.
Even Ling Ziwei and Xie Linghua, who were in seclusion, came out of seclusion, flew behind Wei Zhong, and looked outside the formation with solemn expressions.
Wei Zhong clenched the silver thumb in his hand and communicated with the five-color puppets in the formation, ready to face the enemy at any time.
‘The person coming is definitely not Danjie, otherwise he wouldn’t have disturbed the formation so much. He must be a Nascent Soul cultivator. ’
Wei Zhong counted in his mind the Nascent Soul cultivators he had met, and the only one who had a slight conflict with him was the Blood Sea True Lord.
But this is Luohe Mansion, close to Yunzhou City, the core of Zhengdao Realm, how could the other party get here.
‘Who is it? ’
Wei Zhongtong looked at the five-color puppet, but he could only see a mass of mist, not the figure of the monk inside.
At the same time, Song Linfang was also surprised. She looked at the formation in front of her and said:
"Puppet formation? Isn't this the inheritance in the secret realm? How could Wei Zhong do it? Know this method.”
The crisis deep in the memory began to flash, and Song Linfang seemed to have returned to the moment when she led the elder disciples in the palace to explore the secret realm.
Her heart was beating rapidly and she clutched her chest tightly. His breathing became rapid, and there were drops of sweat on his forehead.
Seeing this, Wang Lihua hurriedly asked:
"Senior Song?"
The latter took two deep breaths and managed to calm down, and the external panic gradually disappeared.
‘The Wang family’s elixirs indeed have serious side effects. Ning Ying has been waiting for months, but he still hasn’t been able to completely escape from the inner demon tribulation. ’
After Song Linfang calmed down, she looked at the five figures in front of her, each holding five kinds of magical weapons: sword, knife, whip, hammer, and stick.
"A third-level middle-grade puppet, equipped with five third-order middle-grade magic weapons. This fellow Taoist Wei is really extravagant."
Thinking of the identity of Wei Zhong gathered as a guest of the merchant association, Song Linfang already knew what was happening before her. The source of this formation.
But Song Linfang only thought that Wei Zhong had obtained this formation from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, and never thought that the puppets or even the formation were forged by his own hands.
“But with the quality of the third-level middle-grade, even with the blessing of formations, and raised to almost the late stage of elixir formation, it is not my opponent.”
Song Linfang was promoted to Nascent Soul, and she was very confident at this moment. When the crowd exploded, they wanted to take action and crush them into the formation.
Wang Lihua was shocked when he saw this:
"Senior Song, wait a minute, don't take action."
Song Linfang didn't know the importance of inheriting "Shen Yin Jue", but Wang Lihua, as a member of the Wang family, knew .
This inheritance is extremely valued by the family. In the past few years, only a few people have been taught by the family.
Others only know the name of one technique, and it is related to the puppet technique, but they don’t know anything else.
Even the puppets made according to this inheritance are rarely released.
The same is true for the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. Wei Zhong was able to obtain such a puppet and the supporting magic circle. His status in the Yunji Chamber of Commerce must be high, and he may also have the background of the Yuanying Elder of the Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking of this, Wang Lihua knew not to offend Wei Zhong, so he quickly stopped Song Linfang and told him the whole story.
After hearing this, the latter also stopped what he was doing and frowned:
"So, my invitation to join him in Gang Palace fell through even before I said it. ?”
With Song Linfang's strength and identity, she cannot compete with the Yunji Chamber of Commerce for people.
"So far, it seems that is indeed the case," Wang Lihua replied.
For Wei Zhong, who has a Nascent Soul background in the Chamber of Commerce, a new Nascent Soul force like Zhigang Palace will naturally not have the slightest attraction to Wei Zhong.
“That’s it!”
Song Linfang sighed, put down the hand that was about to perform the spell, moved her lips slightly, and transmitted the sound into the formation.
"I just want to say hello to Fellow Daoist Wei. What's the point of Fellow Daoist launching such a killing array?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Wei Zhong couldn't help but wonder:
"Song Linfang?"
Looking through the puppet's perspective, I saw the other party's figure revealed. It was undoubtedly Song Linfang, accompanied by Wang Lihua.
“It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Song, no, now I should call you Senior Song. The formation just reacted independently, so I offended you. Please forgive me, Senior.”
Both of them were telling lies, leaving room for maneuver for both parties.
